Over the holiday weekend, the FSU blog Tomahawk Nation published the first 2010 college football Conference & Division odds I’ve seen.
You can read them all there, along with last year’s list for comparison, but I thought I’d post the SEC odds for you to check out:
SEC
3631 Alabama +100
3632 Arkansas +800
3633 Auburn +500
3634 Florida +250
3635 Georgia +650
3636 Kentucky +3000
3637 LSU +800
3638 Mississippi +3300
3639 Miss State +5000
3640 South Carolina +800
3641 Tennessee +800
3642 Vanderbilt +10000SEC East
3651 Florida +125
3652 Georgia +300
3653 Kentucky +1000
3654 South Carolina +300
3655 Tennessee +400
3656 Vanderbilt +2500
SEC West3661 Alabama -200
3662 Arkansas +500
3663 Auburn +350
3664 LSU +500
3665 Mississippi +1200
3666 Miss State +1200
Two things jump out at me there – Auburn’s odds to win the SEC being better than Georgia’s and Tennessee getting as much love as South Carolina and Arkansas.
What do y’all see?

Interesting that the odds for UGA & SC winning the East are the same (+300), but UGA’s chances of winning the SEC are better +150.

Both are equally likely to win the East but UGA is more likely to beat the Western Division representative than USC would be, therefore making them an overall more likely team to win the SEC.

If they’re both equally likely to win the east, why would UGA be more likely ti beat the western division representative than USC?

Tennessee and Arkansas have the same odds for winning the SEC seems a bit odd (as well as USCe). I guess that is reinforcing your perception that Arkansas is a bit overrated. Or maybe it is Tennessee that is overrated

These numbers might be more aptly described as ‘odd’, not ‘odds’.

That 10,000 for Vandy might as well be 10,000,000
